Had a client get my work and then tried to submit a cancellation on fiverr at 3 am to try and lock me out of the shopify account. At that hour after the notification woke me up I ran to my desk and removed all the code from her site and then she tried to get me to put it again (without paying) xD. Working as a freelancer can be a nightmare sometimes.

Never let the client host the site, unless they're paying in full for a zip archive. Then it's their problem.

You can also flip the whole page 180 using CSS transform on the body.

fixing this is very easy. Instead you need to increase the memory footprint of the website day by day. It will be nightmare for anyone working on it in the future to fix the bug.

Back in the day I did this with a client that was notorious non-payer (I was desperate for the work). This was way before the internet - I just hard coded an expiry date into my compiled code 180 days past delivery date. After a ton of foul mouthed calls and threats of legal action, he decided to pay up. I went back and permanently re-enabled the app but refused any future maintenance work.

Savage! But fair.

I actually had clients disappear without paying many years ago when I used to do freelance work. Didn't get my money. Though if I remember correctly, those were very small projects, so not a big deal. On bigger projects I always asked for 50% advance.

I've never got burnt with a client because of 2 veeery simple rules, 1. never start a project without a downpayment pick whichever amount you feel guarantees completion, mine is 50%, no if's and but's on this and 2. DO NOT LET THEM HOST it OR SEND IT TO THEM TILL they clear the remaining amount. How is this not standard?

If the client asks to self-host, just obfuscate some core code, and add the payment checks there. Maybe make some secondary check that corrupts the database if they think they got away after fixing the "pay me" CSS.

I had a client skip payment years ago, and so I leave passive aggressive comments on their company LinkedIn page from time to time as therapy.

- Always make the client sign paper stating what you are about to do and at what price before starting any line of code.
- Always send an email to the client to debrief after each meeting with him, ask him to answer with an acknowledgement.
- Always make clear on the invoice that after XX days of no payment, he will start getting penalties.

Software freelancer is a scarce resource, you should be the one that lead the relationship.

Once had a prospective client ask me to do some work on an existing site. Checking it out I saw a helpful comment from a previous Dev in the html saying that this client was a poor payer. Avoided the engagement - thanks anon dev!

LoL, you are so funny :)… Once my client didn’t pay but forgot I had access to his registrar so I just redirected his domain to mine. He was not savvy enough to figure out how that happened so eventually he paid his bill :)…

I used to develop servers, and for my poison pill, I just made it so anyone who connected and ran a command instantly wiped the server. Good times :) You can also do this with JavaScript, just make a global function and you can then run it from the console, so you don't have to wait 100 days :)
To be clear: None of my clients ever ran away, they were all very nice
